The Sheffield Wednesday coach appeared to be on the wind-up after Sheffield United dropped points at Villa Park.
A tweet posted by the Sheffield Wednesday coach, Lee Bullen, shortly after Sheffield United’s 3-3 draw at Aston Villa has reeled in several Blades fans.
Sheffield United were 3-0 up and coasting towards the top of the Championship until three goals from the 82nd minute onwards earned Aston Villa a point in front of their own fans.
The result kept the Blades in third position, but moved them 17 points clear of 16th-place Sheffield Wednesday, who do have two games in hand.
Nevertheless, some of a Sheffield United persuasion could not resist the urge to bite after Bullen tweeted – and subsequently deleted – a message containing only a tick:

It is not the first time that Bullen appears to have gone fishing in Sheffield United waters.
Asked about Billy Sharp’s comments on wanting Sheffield Wednesday to lose in the 2017 play-offs, so that the Blades could beat them twice the following season, the former Owls captain replied: ‘Who?’
But Bullen will be all too aware of Sharp now, after the Sheffield United striker scored his 20th, 21st and 22nd goals of the season against Aston Villa.
